After a shopping trip to Micheal's in Grand Forks this weekend and the store being full of Valentine's Day stuff and seeing all the cute decorations in the cake isle I am really wanting to make some valentine's day cakes. I even bought some new supplies. (A person could really go on a shopping spree in that place!) If anyone is interested at all they should let me know. I have some ideas as little round cakes perfect to share with your Valentine's Day date. Chocolate with a strawberry or raspberry buttercream, or even a peanut butter buttercream sound delicious or even any flavor you wish.

Email me or you can always message me on facebook if you have any questions.

P.S.

Flavors of cake I make at this time are chocolate, french vanilla, a traditional white, and red velvet. I am more then willing to try new flavors.

Okay well this was the first time I made this cake, Ganache didn't work out the way I had hoped.

This is not the prettiest cake I've made but it is worth posting because it is delicious.

I tried a new chocolate cake, and swirled in milk chocolate and peanut butter into the batter and that turned out good. I tried a new peanut butter buttercream and LOVED it, will be using again for sure. I also tried ganache for the first time, and it didn't turn out quite how I had hoped. I learned some things for next time. But I am a beginner, everything is not going to work out with trial and error. But for all its worth here it is.

This cake was for a baby shower for a little boy who is due in March. The cake was a chocolate cake with a vanilla buttercream decorated with homemade fondont and gum paste decorations. Pictured to the side just show the different sides of the block.

Thanks for coming to check out my new blog, I wanted somewhere to post information about my cakes rather then on facebook alone. Its a work in progress and so is my little at home cake baking, I am new but am having a lot of fun experimenting with new techniques and styles. Feel free to email me with any questions or if you have any sort of event coming up and you might possibly be interested in a cake!
